The White House Consensus versus Chavez’s socialist democracy in Venezuela. You will become an expert on the most vociferous debates between the two world leaders of north and south America. Your task will be to figure out why these two leaders cannot get along. You will be doing all of your research through internet articles in both English and Spanish from a variety of news sources so you can develop your own theory of why these two countries can’t get along.
Once you have completed all ten of the assigned readings your group must also search for a minimum of 4 additional sources to further back up your opinions. For every additional source you have in English, you must have one in Spanish.
After generating your opinions of why these two countries cannot get along, write a one page summary in Spanish expressing your views. Then write a one page analysis in English of how the United States can help quell the heated debate in order for both countries to become better neighbors.

As you will probably find there is a large amount of tension between the two countries especially when it comes to foreign policy.
What you decide is the problem and subsequently, the resolution is open for debate. Many scholars still debate the best way to resolve these issues.
What I hope you will see by reading these articles is the varying degree of interpretation from different sources.
